Several people pleaded with Zeman on Twitter to release the boy.

He also tweeted a message of support for the young man: “Stay strong, be careful with me and [redacted] I’ve been talking all day about this. I don’t know if you’re going to read this, but if there’s any way to do it, remember to be strong.
Zeman was arrested December 28 in Grand Island, Nebraska on suspicion of kidnapping the 13-year-old boy.
Zeman is a self-proclaimed ‘furry’ and dog fetishist who allegedly groomed the boy.
Friends of a Utah teenager who was allegedly abducted by a 26-year-old Arizona man pleaded with the kidnapper to release the boy.
An AMBER Alert had been issued for the child the day before, and the alarm went off after a gas station attendant became suspicious.
Zeman, who identifies as a ‘furry’ and has an interest in the ‘puppy play’ fetish, went by the name ‘Hunter Fox’ online and had been interacting with the victim for some time on social media.
Zeman is alleged to have groomed the child and made explicit references to sexual activity.
In one case, he posted a video of himself masturbating along with a message for the victim.
In a series of Twitter posts last month leading up to the abduction, Zeman could allegedly be seen interacting with the boy he referred to as his ‘lamb’.

His Twitter accounts included posts referring to the boy as his ‘lamb’ along with sexually suggestive comments.
Under the name HunterFloofyFox, Zeman allegedly continued to tweet about the teen referring to him as “lamb.”
In one photo, he posted a caption about how his ‘lamb’ performed oral sex along with a photo of his erect penis.
He is later alleged to have written: ‘I am the map. I am the map, I am the map.
‘MAP’ is believed to refer to the acronym for person attracted to minors, itself a euphemism used by some, including activists and academics, to describe pedophiles.
He is also believed to have operated a Twitter account under the name ‘SadiqWolfe’, which he also used to interact with the boy.
All the accounts have since been closed, but each seemed to use similar phrases.
I would never hurt a child. In fact, as ‘pedophile’ implies, I love children,’ read one post. “Love me, hate me, I am who I am.”

Zeman allegedly made explicit references to the sexual acts he wanted to perform.
In a video posted on December 15, Zeman allegedly filmed himself masturbating along with the caption: ‘A very special video for a very special guy! Your videos are so damn hot, hehe. You know who you are.’
The teen was seen to reply to the message, but was restricted by Twitter.
The next day, Zeman reportedly posted how he was sexually aroused and ready to meet the boy: ‘I will march proudly beside you, my Lamb. I love you with all my heart and soul, sexy lover. Soon you will be in my arms, my love.
Ten days later, Zeman allegedly abducted the boy and took him 800 miles away from his family’s Utah home.
In a series of explicit exchanges, Zeman and the boy interacted on Twitter as Zeman continually said that he wanted to have sex with him.
The only thing that belongs to you is me,” Zeman reportedly wrote on December 18.
Zeman is being held at the Hall County, Nebraska, jail pending charges and extradition to Utah.
